TIPS:
Each chapter of the game is divided into 5 levels. You must complete all
levels in order to advance in the game. The ending of the game depends on
your score, so you need to make as many points as you can. Certain actions
will earn you extra points while others will take away points.
Using hints can be costly, the more of them you use in a level, the more
it's going to cost you. Clicking too many incorrect items will cost you 30
seconds off the clock each time.
You can earn "Speed Bonus" points by finding items from the list
quickly. The only thing is that you must wait for an object to go into
inventory before you can click on another item. When you click on several
items consecutively you will receive 200 bonus points for each one. Also
time is a factor as well when it comes to earning bonuses, the less time you
spend on any given level, the higher your score will be.
In order to make the most points, it is better for you to wait and locate
several items before clicking on any of them. We would never click on items
as we found them, we would locate at least six items first and then click
them in a row. That is an easy 1,000 extra points for doing so (you don't
get bonus points for clicking the first item).
If you do not use any hints in a level you will automatically earn 1,000
bonus points, this applies to all levels except for the arrest the criminal
section. In the arrest the criminal section you will earn 5,000 points if
you guess the correct criminal on the first attempt. For each incorrect
attempt that you make, you will earn less and less points.
In the hidden object part of the game if you need to use a hint, just click
on it and it will show you where an item is. Typically a random item will
pulsate from your list and the corresponding item will pulsate on the screen
as well. If it's the "Match both scenes" level a random picture
will pulsate at the bottom and then the area that it belongs to will pulsate
as well. You cannot use a hint in the "Arrest the Criminal"
section.
In the find the evidence levels, you will have pictures of fragmented items
that you must find on the screen. Make sure to look at the pictures
carefully because all the pieces below will look just like that in the
scene. Items will sometimes blend with items of the same color, others will
be very faint so look closely.
Our favorite section of this game is when you have to match both scenes.
Take items from inventory and place them on either side of the page so that
both sides are identical. Pay attention to where things are when you are
playing the game in general because at times some of those items will be the
same ones you will need to recreate later.
There is a section in which you need to read clues and figure out who the
criminal is. Some clues may not make sense to you at first but if you think
about it long enough they will. Do not always assume that when clues mention
initials that those initials always pertain to the criminal's name. The
initials could be related to a business or some kind of group or
association.
The sections in which you must find the differences between 2 pictures can
be tricky. The differences can be quite subtle, It could be something as
simple as an item having a different color. At times a pole can be slightly
longer than the other. A number could be inverted or an item is facing left
instead of right. Even the shadow of an item could be different, so do not
take any possibilities for granted.
Some words can have a variety of meanings when looking for an item, others
can be tricky. In one instance they asked for the "opposite of
win", the answer is lose but they put the word in between another one
(CLOSED). At another time they asked for the word "OIL", it was in
between the word "TOILET".
